The fight for Equestria

Colt rolled over in the bed, his body restless, his mind shut off from the rest of the world around him. Deep within the darkness behind his eyes his mind worked in its own accord as it always had before. It was working to organize, move and alter things from what had been before. Nothing was more tiresome than having to organize a mess, and with what had happened recently, his mind was working over time, while retaining the dream that stormed throughout overhead.

Within the dream, Colt could barely comprehend what was going on. He stood before a small town of thatched roofs and buildings, only a handful held differences from the scenery, with one exception of a large crystal castle behind the town. Down below him, he could see several creatures, most being ponies of some collection of color or so, while others of pure black, with glowing green horns and glistening wings that seemed a twisted version fought all around. Yet what held his attention the most, were six specific ponies, their colors appeared familiar, and their manes long, flowing, and wild. At the sight of them he could feel his entire being fill with pure hatred and he opened his mouth to hear the most unnatural sounding inhuman roar.

He felt a surge of power, as he moved a large black claw towards them. Those with wings, he had not seen before, easily dodged out of the way, while one, with a dark purple coat easily blocked his attack with a large bubble before tossing his claw aside as if it were nothing.

Flashes seemed to go by and the scenery change slightly as they now appeared in the air before him, all glowing before a multi-colored stream of light shot out of their bodies and into the clouds just above their heads. It seemed to coalesce there before it came at him, hitting him, suppressing his powers he had and failed to protect himself with. He opened his mouth and roared again as he tried in vain to fight it.

It seemed as he fought against whatever this was he felt himself becoming weak even faster. It was then that it seemed that his body began to tear and break, he thought he was going to fall, but he remained in the swirling vortex of colors.

What happened next surprised him the most as he heard, and felt a voice, in his ears, in his mind, and all around him, ‘So your end is decided.’

With a scream, Colt sat upright in the bed, the blankets and sheets falling away from him. He sat there, sweat on his body, tears streaming down his cheeks, his chest hurting he saw he was in the room he had fallen asleep in before. The window across from him was lit with early morning sunlight. He closed his eyes to take a steadying breath, only to be reminded of the image of him slowly being destroyed, piece by piece. It was then as he looked out before he woke up he recognized through the rainbow colors, Twilight, standing below.

Colt grimaced and raised a hoof to his chest feeling the pain intensify for a second before beginning to fade.

“Colt?” Came a muffled voice he did not recognize.

He turned just as the door opened, and there he saw Twilight stick her head in, a look of concern on her face. HE turned his head as she walked in, quickly wiping away the tears and clearing his voice with a few coughs.

“M-mom, good morning...” He said as he turned in time to see her sit down on the side of the bed. She was looking down to the floor, biting her bottom lip. For a second he was glad she had not seen the tears.

“Princess Celestia just received a letter. We should get going.” Colt tilted his head at her cryptic words, but obliged.

It took a handful of minutes to make their way from the room he slept in, to the throne room. There, under the gaze of Celestia, and the dozen or so guards surrounding the room, colt shivered in fear, unknowingly tucking his tail between his legs.

“Colt, it would seem that you will be moving on from Ponyville. I just received a letter, and two ponies will be here very soon.”

“Uh, who are they?” Colt, ventured nervously.

Celestia raised an eyebrow, which led Colt to look between her and Twilight, “Surely you would be excited to know your parents are on their way to the castle even as we speak to see you.”

“P-p-parents?” Colt squeaked out. He fell back on his haunches in mute silence as he tried to understand what was going on.

He wanted to say something, yet the moment he looked at Twilight once more, the dream came full front to his mind and the pain in his chest appeared for a moment before fading away. Instead, Colt sighed, and nodded.
